Dalton - Riflessioni: Idea D'Infinito 1973 ~ software for linux

The group was formed in 1972 by keyboardist Temistocle Reduzzi,Aronne Cereda on guitars, Alex Chiesa on flute, Rino Limonta on bass and Walter "Tati" Locatelli on drums, they released a very good debut album with "Riflessioni: idea d'infinito". With a great use of flute and good guitar riffs, the album has some very good moments, like Idea d'infinito with some JETHRO TULL influences. The album has a very short running time of around 30 minutes but it moved the band to a moderate success. They even won the first prize in a swiss Pop Festival in Zurich.Affinity to early UK prog is noticeable in the blues-influenced guitar riffs and leads, typically breathy and percussive flute lines, occasional stabs at (then) avant-garde electronic episodes based on Moog and a Mellotron.After a single in 1974, "La donna e il bambino", the band had a line-up change with Reduzzi and flutist Alex Chiesa leaving to be replaced by keyboardist Giancarlo Brambilla and singer Massimo Moretti, but the second album "Argitari" (a title formed with the initials of the musicians' names) is considered by many on a lower level than their debut and is mainly built on acoustic guitar.
